Re: Another team's prospects thread

More on Fernando Martinez:

Fernando Martinez was back in Double-A Binghamton's lineup Monday after being pulled from Sunday's game for not hustling.
Martinez was "not running as hard to first base," according to Mets VP of player development Tony Bernazard. The 18-year-old went 0-for-3 on Monday and is now batting .214 for Binghamton.Source:New York Post

Re: Another team's prospects thread

Now that Hughes´s in the majors, Lincecum has clearly become the best pitching prospect in the minors right now.

hughes' polish and resume might be better than lincecum, but you gotta think lincecum's stuff is better than hughes' especially when you look at the #s

49/11 k/bb ratio in 31 innings while allowing only 12 hits and 1 earned run ... and last year his combined #s were 58/12 in 31 and 2/3 innings while giving up just 6 earned runs and 14 hits ... that's just pure dominance.

Re: Another team's prospects thread

I would never project anyone to dominate like Pedro, but if I were to, I would pick Linecum to be that guy. There are still some concerns longterm about him due to his size and delivery of course, but his stuff is just amazing.

Also, this isn't just because of his mediocre results thus far, but I'm really not a big fan of Andrew Miller. I don't like his mechanics and I haven't seen the great stuff he has.

The problem with rating Hughes' change is that he just started using it this year and hes' used it in a total of 4 Live games. Too soon to tell. Sometimes it looks good but other times who knows. I hope he still develops it even while in the majors
